A Communication-Priming Intervention to Improve Shared Decision-Making Between Older Adults With Advanced CKD and Clinicians
A Communication-Priming Intervention to Improve Shared Decision-Making Between Older Adults With Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease and Clinicians: A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
To achieve the goal of reaching consensus about the preferred treatment option that best aligns with the goals and values of patients, the investigators developed a 'CKD Jumpstart- Tips" priming tool tailored for older adults with advanced CKD that is based on communication principles from VitalTalk and Elwyn's goal-based SDM model. The investigators hypothesize that compared with patients in the usual care group, patients in the 'CKD Jumpstart- Tips' intervention group will have: 1. increased level of shared decision-making (observer-based and patient-reported), 2. improved quality of communication, 3. increased patient involvement in decision-making, 4. lower decisional conflict, 5. lower decision regret, 6. decreased time to decision, 7. improved adherence to treatment choice, and 8. improved health-related quality-of-life.
